Lanzarote Overview

Lanzarote Accommodation & Apartments in Lanzarote

It’s easy to find Lanzarote accommodation that’s perfect for you. This island has it all, from family Lanzarote hotels with nightly entertainments to seaside retreats for that romantic week by the Atlantic Ocean. You can kick-back along umbrella-spotted coves and enjoy long, lazy days of swimming and splashing and sipping cocktails in the bars. Or, you can skip the Lanzarote package deals and go for something a little more off-beat. Pull on the walking boots and hit the north coast for that, where the mighty Timanfaya carves the landscape with its pinkish peaks. That’s where the hotels in Lanzarote become bucolic hiker cabins and nature stays, and where far fewer visitors flock in the high season. Apart from varied styles of hotels, you can find self-catering apartments in Lanzarote, which are perfect fit for families with kids, looking for something more homely feel and spacious accommodation.

All About Lanzarote

Hulking like a petrified giant out of the green-blue swells of the Atlantic Ocean, Lanzarote is a carved and chiselled land. It’s slashed through with rugged ridges of black rock and metamorphic stone, topped with cone-shaped volcanos and framed by the smouldering tops of the Mountains of Fire. When all that finally tumbles down to the sea, the result is over 130 miles of coastline that shimmers and shines with ochre-hued sands and lapping waves of turquoise.

Now a mecca for sun seekers and surfers, hikers and mountain bikers, foodies and culture buffs, this rocky isle is much more than just its resort towns – even if they are buzzing and brilliant, too. To cater the influx of tourists who visit this beautiful island, there are many excellent facilities available including a wealth of restaurants, cafes, shops and scores of Lanzarote accommodation for every taste and budget.

Where to stay in Lanzarote

Beach lovers and partiers like to spend their holiday in an appealing resort set against the dark drama of its volcanic landscape. The popular resort towns of Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen are some of the best places to stay and you’ll find varied Lanzarote accommodation, ideal for your specific need. If you want to stay in a quiet location in proximity to the city centre, Playa Blanca can be the best choice. Meanwhile, the north of Lanzarote, and the inland peaks around the spiked calderas of the Timanfaya National Park, is the province of ecotourists and adventurers. The lodges here are rustic, country affairs with access to the trailheads and volcanos. There are a choice of hotels and apartments in Lanzarote around the capital of Arrecife, where it’s possible to feel the pulse of local Canarian life. You can choose from luxury 4 and 5-star accommodation to cheap hotels in Lanzarote as per your requirement

Top Things to See and Do in Lanzarote

Between the beaches and the mighty mountains, it’s easy to see how Lanzarote can fill a whole holiday. If you’re craving sand and sea, head for the accessible resorts of the south coast. Or go to the southern tips of the island, where the likes of surf-washed La Garita (board rentals are available nearby) and rustic Playa Quemada offer something a little different. For adventure, there’s really no substitute for hitting the hiking trails of the Timanfaya National Park, to wonder at otherworldly volcanos and curious fauna in the wild. And that’s not even mentioning the artistic legacies of César Manrique in the galleries of Taro de Tahiche, or the enticing wineries that pepper the landscapes around Yaiza. To explore the best of things that the place has to offer, choose your accommodation in Lanzarote close to the city centre, where an array of hotels and apartments are available to suit all preferences.

Nightlife in Lanzarote

The hedonistic side of Lanzarote is concentrated on a duo of south-coast resorts: Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca. In the first, you can strut along the palm-peppered Avenida de las Playas, flitting between the cocktail joints and thumping clubs. In the latter, it’s all about sipping colourful drinks in the chichi lounges of Puerto Rubicón by day, before heading off to the late-night clubs that dot the town’s other main strips for the evening session. Arrecife – the capital – has something altogether different, with its paint-peeling cantinas filled with chatting locals and sloshing jugs of sangria.

What to Eat in Lanzarote

Lanzarote offers a taste-bud-tingling medley of Canarian treats, African staples and Spanish flair. To sample the local seafood and country kitchen at its best, the cantinas of Arrecife beckon with coriander-heavy sauces and chilli-marinated cuts straight from the spitting grill. Meanwhile, the lonely mountain towns around the peaks of Timanfaya come with hearty taverns which sell platters of prawn fries and carafes of Yaiza wines. And then – of course – there are the international eateries in the resorts of Puerto del Carmen, Blanca and Teguise, which tout pizzas, pastas, English roasts and Shepherd’s Pie. The all-inclusive hotels in Lanzarote also serves an amazing selection of cuisine in buffet or a la carte, which are likely to tempt you away from any home-cooking.

Shopping in Lanzarote

There are bustling shopping strips to enjoy in all of Lanzarote’s top tourist towns. The swish Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca has its fair share of high fashion outlets and Canarian designers, while the endless stores of Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen have you covered on the novelty clothes and souvenir front. For a taste of something more local, you could hang around for the craft market in Pueblo Marinero of Teguise, which bustles with Canarian handicrafts and artworks, or just make a beeline for the mountains, where wineries and farmer stalls tout white tipples and sweet onions and eco honey.

You will surely find it easy to select your preferred abode as the Lanzarote accommodation is quite diverse to suit very taste and pocket.
